welcome back to our tea as promised we have more analysis for you on barack obama's pick for the cia head and his upcoming confirmation hearing for that i'm joined by john blanker senior editor at antiwar dot com sir thanks for taking the time to speak with us now when you look at the discourse coming out in the press about this confirmation hearing i mean it really feels like obama's counterterrorism policies are more on trial here than the actual. confirmation now the question is why is this happening now why are we now looking into these controversial tactics such as drone strikes targeted killings interrogation methods why now. well the nomination of john brennan to the director of the central intelligence agency has brought these issues to a head and furthermore this week you know there was a leaked memo from the justice department that detailed the executive branch's legal rationale for killing americans in targeted assassinations without due process or any checks or balances or transparency on that power to do so you know brennan when it comes down to it when you boil it down

reportedly, barack obama considered offering him the top job at the cia in 2008, but public opposition caused brennan to withdraw from consideration. obama kept brennan on as an adviser, and last year, when brennan became the first official to formally acknowledge that the drone program even existed, he again encountered protests. >> how many people are you willing to sacrifice? why are you lying to the american people and not saying how many innocents have been killed? >> thank you ma'am for expressing your views. we will have time for questions following the presentation. >> i speak out on behalf of tariq aziz. a 16-year-old in pakistan who was killed because he wanted to document the drone strikes. >> now, despite brennan's past notoriety, obama officially has nominated him to head the cia. this time, there's been little criticism of the decision. so, we'll watch brennan's upcoming confirmation hearings to see if any congressional critics press him on whether the obama administration is fighting the war on terror within the rule of law. which brings me to my guests for this discussi
